User Reviews

Users widely praise The Athletic for high-quality, in-depth sports journalism and solid soccer/insider content, with coverage including recent results. However, repeated complaints center on notification overload, persistent ads—even with a subscription—, frequent crashes and article-loading errors, and a rough mobile UI/UX that hampers navigation and discussion features.

Pros

High-quality, in-depth journalism and sports coverage.
Strong insider content and soccer coverage.
Coverage includes recent results alongside in-depth articles.
Generally well-regarded app with reliable performance when functioning.
Subscription is seen as offering good value given journalism quality.

Cons

Notification overload and poor control over alerts (March Madness spam, settings not working).
Ads and podcast advertising persist despite subscription.
Frequent stability and loading issues (crashes, browser errors) affecting reading articles.
Poor mobile UI/UX and navigation (terrible interface, hard to find replies, no history).

Recent reviews

Only Americans can include loads of notifications and popups for football team. First game of the season completely ruined by showing score on top of screen stuck, then loads of notifications on score

One of the best sports info apps out there. High quality content, always fresh and insightful, no pop-up ads, plus the Pick Em games which are a delight. Highly recommend this app!
